Review

"Chris and his work have changed his life, my life, and already millions of lives for the better worldwife. His work is in the process of doing the same for YOU." Tony Buzan, multi-million copy best-selling author and Inventor of Mind Mapping. "Chris shows with clarity and persuasiveness that creative thinking is not magic, but a process that can be learned, developed, and most importantly applied to the challenges, whether business or personal, that confront us all. An excellent resource. Grasp it." Tim Hurson, Author of 'Think Better: An Innovator's Guide to Productive Thinking'.

A thinking manual 12 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback
Very persuasive and easy-to-follow manual on how to think better and think smarter to achieve innovative but also good common sense solutions and strategies in business and the workplace. Its springboard is Edward de Bono's premise that thinking is a skill and can be developed and improved if you know how.

Chris is passionate about proactive thinking and as CEO of a forward thinking organisation that has developed and extended Tony Buzan's Mind Mapping and other brain boosting techniques to work brilliantly on-screen, he is well placed to show you how to create the most productive mindset for problem solving and idea generation.

What particularly impressed me was the breadth and depth of the scientific research and footnotes (many contemporary and online) to back up the discourse and I also found the quotes from innovative thinkers (including Mr Spock and Kenny Loggins) entertaining and apt for the text in question.

Mind Maps form a creative bedrock for the selected ideas, strategies, techniques and tips that Chris focuses on (culled from his impressive business and professional experience) and they are used to good effect to illustrate and review the text and chapter overviews. If anything I would have liked to have seen them used larger!

This book isn't academic: it is practical and outcome-driven and so a desktop must for all office managers, company directors and small business owners. Actually anyone who is looking to think more creatively and effectively will get something out of it. It may look dense at 290pp but you'll be amazed at how quickly you can read through it and grasp it!

Wow...I read this book during my weekend photoreading and mindmapping course with Tom Kavanaugh. Just reading the book caused an immediate shift in my perspective as it instantaneously revealed to me several areas where my business was stuck due to my own limited thinking that I had not even been aware of! It made very real to me the idea of identifying the correct problem to solve, a concept I previously thought I had a handle on. Then, sent me flying into the face of renewed hope and excitement as I discovered the astoundingly simple and innovative brainstorming processes. This book contains the profound ability to gently and effectively harness the power of wild genius with solid logical process and hitch them to the same wagon, willingly, warmly and with great eagerness to work together to get the job done! This book will change the way you look at your business and your life, if you let it. Bravo!

The next millennium will belong to the creative thinkers in our world. To enhance our business and personal lives we need to discover new and innovative methods to make them better. Chris Griffiths, in GRASP The Solution, shows us how to creatively innovate the five types of thinking in a logically structured method by reducing the process to four steps which help us achieve maximum results. The most remarkable part of GRASP The Solution is the discovery of how to tap into the personal genius which resides in each of us. GRASP The Solution teaches us, in a very subtle manner, how to activate that genius in our own creative thinking and discover brilliant solutions to overcome the challenges we face. Have a challenge? GRASP The Solution!
Tom Kavanaugh, MA
